Thursday, January 22, 2009A LITTLE BIT OF USELESS INFORMATION & A BOTTLE OF BEER ON JULY 20, 1969, AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE, NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SET FOOT ON THE MOON. HIS FIRST WORDS AFTER STEPPING ON THE MOON, 'THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND,' WAS TELEVISED TO EARTH AND HEARD BY MILLIONS. BUT JUST BEFORE HE REENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY', . MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGH IT WAS A CASUAL REMARK CONCERNING SOME RIVAL SOVIET COSMONAUT. HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS NO GORSKY IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE PROGRAMS. OVER THE YEARS MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT THE 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY' STATEMENT MEANT, BUT ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED. . ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA, WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOLLOWING A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT UP THE 26-YEAR-OLD QUESTION TO ARMSTRONG. THIS TIME HE FINALLY RESPONDED. MR. GORSKY HAD DIED, SO NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD ANSWER THE QUESTION. . IN 1938 WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MIDWEST TOWN, HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD. HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOR'S YARD BY THE BEDROOM WINDOWS. HIS NEIGHBORS WERE MR. AND MRS. GORSKY. AS HE LEANED DOWN TO PICK UP THE BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS. GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR. GORSKY: . . 'SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!' . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . . And on a lighter note, this young lady has demonstrated just how easy it is to hold a bottle of beer whilst riding a Harley. .  I gave the above manoeuvre a trial run on my exercise bike - before attempting to do it on Tallulah - but the bottle of Jack Daniels (Hubs choice of liquid refreshment) just didn't sit comfortably, despite being propped up by my spare tyre. If only they made Uncle Jack in round bottles.............................. Labels: Harleys, nice knockers, Uncle Jack  
Sunday, September 14, 2008TATTOO ME.....................HELP WANTED I have a problem & I'm making a genuine appeal for a bit of help. I am not the least bit artistically minded, despite being able to slap a bit of paint on the walls & make it looked mottled.........hmmm. OK, my problem is that I'm trying desperately to make arrangements to have another tattoo done, with the tattooist near my hometown in South Africa. I'm going home in 16 sleeps time - yay! I really, really like the picture above - the design of it & the colouring. I sent the picture via email to my tattooist & he's replied most apologetically, saying that he cannot make a good enough stencil for the design from my picture, as it's too small. BUGGRIT! I can't make the pic any larger - I've tried, but it looks blurred & obviously not good enough to make a stencil from. BUGGRIT again! So, what I'm asking/pleading/quietly begging for is someone who is artistically inclined to re-do the pic for me. It needs to be big enough for the tattooist to make a decent stencil from it. Ideally, where the words 'Harley Davidson' (in red) are, I would like 'Live To Ride Ride To Live' (in the same kind of font) instead. Alternately, I'd be happy with just the HD logo bar & shield in the middle of the wings, with a scroll at the bottom of each wing, reading 'Ride To Live' + 'Live To Ride'. Any help will be most appreciated. Should someone come up with a 'solution' I will do my best to ensure that you get as much publicity as possible. If you want dosh for your effort, then a reasonable amount can be negotiated. Many thanks :-) Labels: Harleys, selling a kidney, tattoo me
